That’s why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he’s in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.
I still think “class war” is the most accurate term for it though, and the fact that the working class isn’t (yet) fighting it is just the biggest reason that the moneyed class is winning (so far).
Pretty soon you’re going to need necromancy to summon him, sadly enough. He has no heir apparent other than maybe AOC, and the well has been so thoroughly poisoned on her that I wonder if she can be effective.
Luigi worried them, he didn’t cause them fear. It’s also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they’ll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi’s would permanently solve the problem.
You know when we say change we mean more fundamental than the capitalist class enacting stricter security. We mean course correcting change. We’re still on our way to the splitting of the US and feudal “Network States”.
It’s basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.
It’s always been a class war … when you think about it, it’s never stopped.
It’s class war. It’s been class war all along.

War implies more than one combatant. No one has been fighting for the working class.
Very true.

Class domination, maybe.
As for someone fighting for working people? I summon:
Bernie Sanders

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They felt fear because of Luigi. Nothing changed. They simply must be removed.

Take the plunge. Organize locally.
Except the things that did.

Go be the next one, then. I’ll post a meme for you 🫡
We need a sustained effort, not just a one off and a few whistle blowers.
You’re right it would have been better if nothing happened at all
Blue Cross may have reversed that anesthesia policy but other insurance companies are testing the waters on similar cuts already. https://www.newsweek.com/medical-mutual-insurer-changes-anesthesia-coverage-who-it-impacts-2010638
The post assassination stock price dip wasn’t even the lowest price their stock hit in the last 52 weeks and it recovered pretty much immediately.
Taking down the “about us” page on their website isn’t really a significant change is it?
“Reasoned arguments? Rebuttals about how a policy change in one company doesn’t change the system as a whole? Literal babies!”
Very mature.
They felt fear for only one minute.
